Parted Magic 64 bit - posted in Grub4dos: I had Parted Magic 6.3 working on my 32 bit computer (launching it from g4d bootable usb). Recently got a 64 bit computer and couldnt get Parted Magic to run. I downloaded the latest copy of PMagic (20130228). The old pmagic (6.3) had the following directory structure (which was in the root of my boot stick): pmagic pmagic PMODULES pmagic. The generic idea is to create a very small partition (a few megabytes in size, most probably anything below or around - say - 100 Mb would be fine) on the stick, format it 'normally' in Windows as NTFS, then resize (extend it) to the full size.

Any of you guys using this setup?
I started playing with the grub built in to BCDEasy, which is grub4dos. I had the usual issues with the script not working OK, so I did some searching.
I found a LOT of threads in lots of forums about how Win 7 breaks grub4dos, especially if you install to the MBR, and how grub4dos only works with 32 bit versions of Win 7.
[H] is my trusted, go-to forum, I trust you guys to know the real scoop.
As much as I like open source, etc, at some point, I'd rather pay for a commercial multi-boot manager that also hides logical partitions, boots Windows off any drive, and doesn't trash entire partitions in my system. (That last point rules out the multi-boot tools in Acronis Disk Drive Suite ! )
